Fox Frontier XD, plus Vapour Peak. Fox Duralite Combo chair. RidgeMonkey Ruggage Rucksack Some terminal tackle bits and bobs and some bait. Now I've finally got a proper bivvy, I might get a few overnighters in if the weather warms up a bit.😁

A productive afternoon making bait, with a base mix that is available without visiting a tackle shop. Even better I picked it up at a bargain price of 45pence for the main base. Chapati flour, liver powder, mackerel and herring meal (animal feed store) and eggs

I had not long started fishing a while back after a day at work and a chap walked past pushing his barrow and asked how I was getting on. I'd only been there about an hour so had nothing to report. He didn't seem in a hurry to set up and we had a good long chat and he asked if he could fish the next swim down as it was available and he had caught a few in there the last time he was down. Obviously I had no objection and he pushed his barrow down to the swim and came back to continue chatting. He seemed like a really nice bloke but was a bit full of "the carp gods" and seemed to be looking up for inspiration. After about 15 minutes he went to his swim which was partially hidden from mine by bushes but I spotted him kneel to the ground and pray after he'd cast out his 3rd rod which I thought was a bit funny. A couple of times during the night he came up and asked me to photograph some fish for him, although my rods remained motionless. The following morning after bite time had ended, he came up and asked if I would mind his rods as he was in desperate need of a trip to the port-a-loo and he handed me his receiver as he didn't want to reel in and cause a disturbance when he came back. I took a quick trip to his swim when he was gone and it all became clear when I looked at his bobbins. Do you think divine intervention had anything to do with his success or was I just in the wrong swim?

The Lord works in mysterious ways 😁

I did originally post to ask, but then looked at your profile which has it on, so deleted the post.
